\"\"<\/a>As someone with mild concerns about dysgenic<\/a> (albeit, with a normative lens that high intelligence and good looks are positive<\/em> heritable traits) trends, I’m quite heartened that Marissa Mayer<\/a> is pregnant. Of course she’s batting well below the average of some of her sisters<\/a>, but you take what you can get in the game of social statistics. Quality over quantitative thanks to assortative mating<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This brings me to a follow up of my post from yesterday, People wanted more children in 2000s, but had fewer<\/a>. A reader was curious<\/a> about limiting the data set to females. Therefore, I did. The same general pattern seems to apply (the limitations\/constraints were the same). The only thing I’ll note is that there were only ~40 women in the data set with graduate degrees in the 1970s who were also asked these particular questions, so take this with a grain of salt.<\/p>\n
